Best (and worst) casting on Game of Thrones?

[Gromakh]

Imo best cast has to go to Mark Addy as Robert Baratheon or Jack Gleeson as Joffrey, or maybe Iain Glen as Jorah Mormont. All as close as they can be as I imagined them from the books.

Also really excited for who they get as Wyman Manderly. Maybe Brian Blessed?

I like Mark Addy and his portrayal of Robert Baratheon, but I wouldn't consider him an ideal cast, at least as far as how the book describes him: 6'6" (I think) and still powerful-looking, albeit getting fat, as opposed to Addy, who is only 5'10" and pudgy.
